Boutique owner Ikram Goldman might not quite be a household name — but in the rarefied world of high fashion, her name commands respect.

Counting former first lady Michelle Obama, Ariel Investments president Mellody Hobson and former White House social secretary Desiree Rogers among her clientele at her high-end River North store, Ikram, Goldman is used to dealing with Chicago's elite.

"Dear Rahm, We have a park across the street from our house on Kingsbury and Erie," an exasperated Goldman wrote the mayor April 12 in an email obtained by the Chicago Tribune under the Freedom of Information Act. "There is a clear sign that says no dogs allowed. Yet everyday all day, dogs run around pooing and peeing where kids and families hang out."

Goldman complained to Emanuel that when she'd pointed out the rules to dog owners it was made clear to her that "they don't care." She urged the mayor to have a cop issue tickets to errant dog owners, predicting it would be "an easy way to make some extra money for the city!"

The mayor — fighting soaring homicide numbers and an ongoing pensions crisis, among other things — responded within six minutes, "Have you called your alderman?"

Goldman then told Emanuel that residents of her building had "taken this up numerous times" with Ald. Brendan Reilly "to no avail."
